Swedish man loses B42,000 to Pattaya thief

Can understand why someone may wish to own gold but cannot understand why they would display it while traveling.

From Bangkok Post

PATTAYA: A Swedish tourist told police that a thief stole about 42,000 baht worth of valuables from him early Wednesday morning.

Lars Reikwike, 65, told police in front of Pattaya City 8 School at about 3.30am on Wednesday that a man approached him there and stole his gold ring worth about 40,000 baht and 2,000 baht in cash.

A 50-year-old taxi motorcyclist who identified himself as Winai said the Swedish man, who appeared intoxicated, was on a roadside waiting for a taxi when the suspect, who he said appeared to be transsexual, approached the foreigner.

Mr Winai said he rushed to separate them in a bid to prevent a crime. Later, he said, he learned about the theft but the suspect had left the scene before police arrived.

The motorcyclist said the suspect had frequented the area.

+1, specially when going drinking at the nightime but I guess this is what freedom is all about.

At least he was smart enough to carry just 2000 not 20000 or 200000 on him
